Health and Safety information:
Illness:
As we are well aware, children have minor illnesses that do not prevent them from attending the nursery. However, there are some circumstances when children will need to stay at home:
- If your child has diarrhoea/vomiting, they MUST stay at home for 48 hours from their last episode.
- If your child acquires a doubtful rash, please seek medical advice before bringing them into nursery.
- If your child has a contagious illnesses/infections such as chicken-pox, mumps & measles (see exclusion periods on next page)
- If your child has a fever or a temperature (of 101 degrees Fahrenheit or 38 degrees centigrade or over).
If your child becomes ill while at Little VIPs, we will ensure that we contact parents/carers as soon as possible and that the child is nursed and comforted until someone arrives to collect them.
For further details please refer to our policies on sickness, infection control and medications.
